[Mono-winforms-list] Re: Help with Wine patched library on Linux

[Paul Butcher]

Thanks for the help - that got me some way further but still no window is 
showing.  I did the following

1.  win32server -p originally reported could not find libwin32.so - I realised 
/usr/local/lib was not in LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  With this corrected it runs OK.

2.  Then when I ran mono with example SWF app I got:
  Warning: no valid DOS drive found, check your configuration file.
  Warning: could not find wine config [Drive x] entry for current working
   directory ....; starting in windows directory.
  Invalid path L"c:\\windows" for L"windows" directory: does not exist
  Perhaps you have not properly edited or created your Wine configuration
  file. This is (supposed to be) '/people/paulb/.wine/config'

So I realised I had no valid .wine directory or config file.  I created a 
default one using my full wine build (an old one from 2001) together with the 
required fake_windows dir etc.

3.  Then on running mono I get instead:
  Warning: Language 'en_GB' was not found, retrying without country name...
  Warning: Language 'en' was not recognized, defaulting to English

and then the app hangs - no window appears but mono does not exit either.

How should wine be setup to run with these patched shared libs?

PS I meant SWF=1 in my original e-mail - just a typo!
